In the days since I've launched Mixfont, an AI font generator, I've gotten a good amount of feedback that's been skeptical of the quality of AI-generated fonts. I've also seen some articles shared discussing how high quality AI-generated fonts are still 3-4 years away.
I wanted to challenge these claims as I personally believe that the raster->vector font generation pipeline that's being used in Mixfont today is already good enough for the vast majority of use cases for decorative, display, stylized, etc fonts. While I think that creating a legendary variable font is not quite possible, I do feel that for most projects using AI-generated fonts is already high quality enough for many designers.
To prove out this hypothesis I've put together an AI Font Quiz, where some of these fonts are licensed from real font foundries, while others in this quiz are 100% generated with AI using the Mixfont model. You can try typing and testing out all of the fonts, and when you're ready you can select whether you think the font is AI-generated or human-made.
I would love to get your take on whether or not you can tell the difference between the AI-generated vs human-made fonts. I think that if AI-generated fonts are high enough quality, things will change quickly for the font industry in general.
I would appreciate your feedback and would love to hear what you score!
